Connect USB Devices (Optional)
If connecting a USB mouse, keyboard or storage device to the vision controller, connect the USB device to one of the
vision controller's USB ports.
CAUTION
:
Cognex recommends only cold-plugging USB devices; turn the vision controller power off when
connecting or disconnecting USB devices.
Note
:
l
When using the vision controller in an electrically noisy environment, it is important to use USB devices that
are rated for industrial use in the same environment. Most commercially available USB devices are rated for
home use but are not designed for, or rated for, use in industrial environments. The use of peripherals not
fully rated for the environment of use can result in impaired system immunity to nearby electrical noise.
l
USB drives should be formatted with a FAT32 file system.
Connect the 24VDC Power Supply
The vision controller is shipped with a 24VDC power connector.
Note
:
l
A DIN rail-mountable power supply accessory is available. Please contact your Cognex sales
representative for more information.
l
If using a power supply with a ground terminal, the terminal must be connected to earth ground. If using a
DIN rail-mounted power supply, the power supply must be mounted to an earth-grounded DIN rail. Wire and
connections must be in accordance with these instructions, the National Electrical Code and applicable
national and local wiring standards and rules.
1. Verify that the 24VDC power supply being used is unplugged and not receiving power.
2. Use a screwdriver to loosen the wire retention screws on the 24VDC power connector.
